Bishop Museum Malacology Department - Rare Snail Captive Rearing Intern
The malacology collection houses rare, EW (extinct in the wild) Hawaiian land snails with the goal of re-
establishing native populations within the island. Captive rearing interns will assist in a wide variety of

These include, but are not limited to, captive rearing of rare and endangered live snails, maintenance of snail habitats and supplies, and census recording of individuals. Initiatives are in partnership with the USDA’s Snail Extinction Prevention
Program, where outreach and education activities aimed at informing conservation staff of partner
agencies and the general public may be required. Due to COVID19 pandemic restrictions, field outings
will be limited or on hiatus until further notice.

Bishop Museum Malacology Department - Data Digitization Intern
Help unlock valuable information about the diversity and distribution of Pacific Island land snails in the Bishop Museum Malacology Collection by becoming part of a multi-institutional project. We are accepting volunteer data digitization interns to help make these data broadly available online. Interns will help with the imaging and databasing of historical specimens and associated field notes and mapping of specimen distributions using GIS-based applications. This work will allow us to synthesize thousands of important Hawaiian malacological records so that the specimens and their associated data will be available to help understand and protect against the high extinction rate of land snails. Interns will gain experience in using digital imaging systems, macro photography, image editing tools, collection management databases, mollusk taxonomy, and geography. Good computer skills using Windows 10 and Microsoft Office (Excel) is recommended.
